We also make grants to local charities that support local people and provide a range of services within the community. It gives me great pleasure to outline some of the key activities of the Charity for the year ending 30 June 2019, and to provide some pointers to our future work. Hampton Fund: Our new Name But first, even though we only launched it in July 2019 and therefore strictly speaking after the end of the year in question, I must mention our change of name. Following a small ceremony and celebration with the Mayor and others in York House, we are now Hampton Fund! We are proud of our history: the needy being able to chop an allotment of wood for fuel was very important two hundred years ago when the land was given. And when the land was sold thirty years ago and converted into a financial endowment, we were pleased to continue that historic link by making grants towards energy bills. We still do as fuel poverty remains an important issue today. But the reality is that our historic name had become an impediment to our mission: it did not tell people today what we do; and those in need who saw our name for the first time were unlikely to understand that this was a potential source of help. So, although our legal name (with the Charity Commission etc) remains unchanged, we will now be known as Hampton Fund. Need in our Borough I have highlighted previously that because of the perceived affluence within the Borough there is a triple• whammy effect on those who are in real need: • there is less infrastructure to meet the specific requirements of those in need; • organisations from outside the Borough have little interest in providing help to those within it; • the gap between the rich and the poor leads to greater isolation. These needs manifest themselves in a variety of ways, including mental health issues and homelessness. How we have helped individuals this year Individuals in need may apply to us for grants, most of which are fuel grants which we pay direct to the energy supplier on their behalf. During 2018/19, we awarded 1,510 fuel grants to individuals totalling £729,740 (1,512 in 2017 /18 at a cost of £730,350). In addition, we make grants for the purchase of basic white goods, for example a fridge or a cooker, and basic items of furniture such as a bed. Typically, these grants are offered where urgent rehousing is needed. Most of us feel fortunate to live in the Borough but, particularly with rental costs at their current levels, there are all sorts of pressures on those who are on a low income. So, we also help with the cost of children from low income families going on their Year 6 school trips - which apart from the direct cost assistance has social inclusion benefits as well. And following a successful pilot last year, we are now supporting a scheme to help with the cost of school uniforms for children moving into their first year at secondary school. Hampton Fuel Allotment Charity - Annual Report 30 June 2019 Page 3 of 49 HAM PTON FUEL ALLOTM ENT CHARITY THE CHAIRM AN'S REPORT (Continued) fo r the year ended 30 June 2019 How we have helped local charities this year We are lucky to have some tremendous charities and community groups in our Borough doing great work and we support those in need by making grants to many of these organisations. Examples during the year included the following: • Based in Whitton, Homelink is a registered charity providing high quality nurse-led specialist day care for older people who have a long-term illness, disability or mental health concern. A £30,900 grant will pay towards the salary for a full-time Care Support Co-Ordinator and associated costs. The new post will provide much-needed support to carers in our area of benefit. An additional grant of £35,000 will pay towards a fully accessible minibus, to be used for transporting clients to Homelink and providing outings for carers. • A grant of £25,000 to Marble Hill Playcentres will enable the charity to submit a full planning application for a new community hub in Marble Hill Park. It's an important step towards transforming the existing site, providing a home for Marble Hill Playcentres, OK Music Trust and Skylarks. It will be a centre for excellence, an important resource for local families and children, particularly supporting families where there is a child or children with additional needs. • A grant of £7,800 to LVA Trust will contribute towards the costs of lessons, assemblies, group work and 1:1 mentoring at Hampton High and Twickenham Academy to empower young people with the knowledge they need to have healthy relationships, and emotional resilience. Overall, we made 79 community grants in 2018/19 (69 in 2017/18) to charitable organisations totalling £1.34m (£1.18m in 2017/18). This is the second successive year we have set a new record for us in such grant making and, while we are pleased to have been able to do this again, it is perhaps a sign of continued funding pressure across our active voluntary sector. Our grants cover a wide variety of sectors, including disability, older people, children and young people, carers and mental health as well as community activities. The end-of-grant monitoring report we receive from the groups we fund is one way we evaluate the impact of our funding. Property prices in our Borough remain high and this is an issue that can have an adverse effect on society in many ways. Therefore, we were delighted to have completed on the purchase of a house, which we are now leasing to Spear, our local charity that supports homeless people back into independent living. The new property will provide a home to four male adults at any one time, who will be supported back into independent living and their own tenancy. oneRichmond Jointly with Richmond Parish Lands Charity, we have also been progressing 'oneRichmond'. This is a collaborative venture between our two charities and ultimately other community stakeholders, which we hope will unlock additional resources in terms of expertise, funds and people, to be channeled into meeting needs in our Borough. As a first step we have agreed that children and young people will be our initial theme, with a specific focus on how crime and mental health are affecting our young people; and what early interventions might be effective. Consultation with young people will be at the heart of our initial research. We also awarded our first grant to fund the Youth Service Outreach Bus on Richmond Green for 10 weeks every Friday evening during the summer holidays. This was in response to the recent spate of muggings and bullying reported in the vicinity. The Youth Workers will disseminate information and provide support to the young people. The presence of the bus on The Green will enable the young people to feel safe. Hampton Fuel Allotment Charity - Annual Report 30 June 2019 Page 4 of49 HAMPTON FUEL ALLOTMENT CHARITY TH E CHAI RMAN'S REPORT (Continued) for the year ended 30 June 2019 Meeting local needs today and tomorrow Looking after the endowment fund and balancing the needs of present and future generations are challenges that we, as Trustees, have to consider carefully. Accordingly, our prime investment objective is to ensure that funds available for beneficiaries are maintained in real terms, so as to ensure that future generations may benefit from the endowment at least as well as the current one. In order to achieve this goal, we have adopted a 'Total Return' approach to investment which allows Trustees to use both income and capital growth produced by the endowment fund to satisfy expenditure. This removes any reliance on income alone to meet expenditure and permits a more flexible and longer-term investment approach. Our total investment return for the year was 3.4%. However, over the four years from 1 July 2015, the fund has produced total returns averaging 7.4% per annum, significantly ahead of our target of 5.9% (CPI + 4%). Charity governance Charity governance continues to be a topical issue as well as an important one. Over the last three to four years we have overhauled all our policies and have a programme for their regular review. For a small charity like the Hampton Fund, loss of staff is always an important risk to manage, and I am glad to say that as we have grown, we have also taken on more staff (welcome to Jan Webb and Sheila Pryde - and I am glad to say David White remains Director, and Carole Swinburne remains Individual Grants Manager), which goes a small way towards mitigating this.

  • Running on the “Status Treadmill”? Institutional
    RUNNING ON THE “STATUS TREADMILL”? INSTITUTIONAL ENDOWMENTS AND STUDENT FINANCIAL AID AT WEALTHY PRIVATE COLLEGES by ERIN BETH CIARIMBOLI (Under the Direction of James C. Hearn) ABSTRACT Despite efforts to combat rising college costs via significant federal, state, and institutional investments in student financial aid, enrollment in higher education remains woefully stratified by family income. In recent years, critics have decried the most wealthy and selective colleges for failing to utilize their abundant endowment wealth to recruit, enroll, and retain a greater number of low-income students, particularly as sticker prices continue to rise at rates higher than inflation. Many of the wealthiest private institutions—with endowments well over $500 million—have Pell Grant enrollments below 20%, compared to the 35% of students nationally receiving Pell. In response to these concerns of access, affordability, and the practice of so-called “endowment hoarding,” Congress launched two inquiries targeting wealthy colleges in 2008 and 2016. The present study explores the nexus of these two requests, focusing on the role of institutional endowments in promoting access to wealthy, private colleges and universities. Two specific research questions framed this analysis. First, how do endowment spending, priorities, and policies differ among private colleges with over $1 billion in institutional assets, given multiple missions and institutional types? Second, how do these schools’ endowments contribute to institutional financial aid policy and spending, and ultimately, low-income student access? Using content analysis, I systematically analyzed a sample of 30 universities’ responses to the Congressional inquiries in both 2008 and 2016. Findings suggest significant heterogeneity in institutional spending and priorities, multiple definitions of student financial need and subsequent approaches to distributing financial aid, and consequently, differential roles of endowments in supporting institutional needs.
